This lot is produced by Gizaw Alemayehu, his father produced coffee from his large privately owned coffee farms in the surrounding areas of Yirgacheffe until the new socialist government emerged in 1974 and nationalised his farms.

Instead, he shifted his focus to coffee processing, supplying in a modern approach in pursuit of his father’s vision with his wife, Frehiwot.
